I'm bummed they didn't announce pricing or availability

Maybe they're waiting for MS to finish up, just incase they were going to drop the price of the 360? Or I'm just dreaming

[Ruslan74]

MS will only drop the price of the X360 in November to counter the PS3's launch. Thats as per MS press reports prior to E3.

As for more Wii, enjoy these high-res pic of Wii and its controllers!

Have you checked out any of the Movies yet?

I'm busy pulling the Red Steel movies. While not comparable to the Halo 3 video is doesn't look bad at all. There's some pretty good effects and what looks like HDR lighting.

[Ruslan74]

the whole idea of the Wii games is their control mechanism it seems... having more control over a game will definetly put you into the "zone" of good fun!

i will wait for november to get 360
